:lol: ffs Suit, are you bored again or something?
Why are you ignoring post #1534? You're giving him credit.
I'm ignoring post #1534 because it comes after post #1524, where my conversation re Price started with "perhaps". I'm not going to recap it in every post afterwards, just for those who can't be bothered going back and reading the whole thing (but still feel the need to comment about what others have said).

Just asking how you knew he was involved?
It's a simple question Bart.
I'm sure you can answer it?
As covered in post #1524, I don't. And never said I did. But after thinking perhaps he was responsible for the improved passion on display, I wanted to give him a wrap, just in case.

Price is only working with the youngsters


Ah yes, well there was passion there for the U20s that I hadn't seen this year, so good on him.


Sounds like you're giving him credit to me?
So, it sounds like you knew he was involved in yesterday's TC result.
Well done Ray Price.
I'll take Bart's word for it, despite the fact I really don't know whether you had any involvement.
Go Pricey!! What you did for the TC team yesterday was add passion. They needed it.

As I asked before, what problem do you have in someone giving someone credit on here?

Sounds like you didn't read post #1524 and have been caught out trying to be a forum pedant.

You can do what you like Suity, I won't carry on about it as much as you do about whatever I say :kiss:

Good to see some positivity back in your posts Suit. You've been very negative lately, and we have enough of that in here already....

I dont know how much you have seen of Jennings , but you have to look at what a player does defensively, offensively , on and off the footy.I would like to see Ryan Morgan play back row as Jennings did against the sharks 42 tackles 7 carries 1 line break 1 line break assist 1 try then play 5/8 vs souths the next week for 28 tackles 9 runs for over 100mtrs over 200mtrs in kicks all this when he is a centre,when teamed with Gagan give every team they played cause for concern.both Australian scoolboys 2010 scored tries in both tests in england 21 tries between them sg ball 2010 . If we were to not look deep enough when rating players you could look at Vai Toutai game on saturday vs penrith 1st half 8 tacles 5 misses 5 runs for the whole game.....need we go on.:eek:

Not agreeing or disagreeing - just interested to know why you would like to see Ryan Morgan given a go in the back row

God forbid anyone should "comment about what others have said".

I thought you were all about freedom of expression on here bart? Now you're having a go at people who "comment about what others have said"? Or just the people who "feel the need to"?

Considering I've asked you 3 times the same question and 3 times you've refused to answer it, I'm done.
I'm not trying to be a smart arse Bart, I just WANTED to know whether you knew that Price had an input into yesterday's TC result, considering your previously quoted post suggested he had.
You haven't answered, despite being given the opportunity.
Thanks anyway. Your refusal to answer speaks volumes.

Oh f**k no poupou, now you've done it.
You quoted a fact that Bart states all the time. As fact.

The great thing about bartman is that he demands proof when people give their opinion. And we know he wouldn't do that if he wasn't prepared to back it up.

What a load of truffle! I've answered your question three times - just not with the answer you wanted :crazy:

What bit of "perhaps" in post #1524 didn't you understand again?
You haven't answered, despite being given the opportunity.
Thanks anyway. Your refusal to answer speaks volumes.
And yet again Suity, your blinkers and getting your knickers in a knot about nothing speaks volumes too. That's five minutes of my life trying to reply to your pedantic circular questions that I sadly won't get back :roll:

Lol. A bit more evidence of those blinkers at play, eh?

Only when opinion is stated as fact PP.... Which part of "perhaps" in my earlier post didn't you understand as well - or were you here just to cheerlead for your special forum buddy?

More like :sleeper:...

The act's a bit boring now, following me around into threads just to pick a pedantic debate about nothing. I'm surprised it ticks any boxes for him at all.

Let's just keep some threads sacred hey Suity, and leave this one to discussion about the U20s, rather than you and your cheerleaders focussing in on your favourite forum members for a change?

Just here to put shit on you for being a hypocrite actually. The fact someone else also calls you on it is unrelated to why I've chosen to post.

Yeah, whatever floats your mutual boats... So got anything to say about the U20s at all PP, instead of just holding up your end of the mutual "special relationship"? ;-)

How did you think Wehbe played, for example? Did you get to see the game yourself?

I did indeed watch the game, and it was both awesome and surprising, given our recent form.

That said, I think a result like that makes it hard to judge any of the boys. Obviously Newcastle didn't turn up, but I enjoyed seeing the kids like Tanginoa and Masinamua, who I've never seen play before.

I think Newcastle did turn up, at least at the front and back of the game. At 12-6 down after 20mins, our boys had to rally and I think that can only be judged positively. And they went on with the job too, establishing a lead that was too big for Newcastle to claw back.

As I tried to say earlier, credit wherever credit is due for this turnaround. But in a comp like U20s with it's unpredictable and usually very open footy, I reckon it's impossible to tell who is going to go on to be something special, and who just has the potential.

I agree on-field performance is a poor guide to a junior player's ability to progress to first grade, and even NRL club scouts have to deal with this ambiguity.

The people best placed to know whether a player will make is or not are the coaching staff at the player's own club because they are able to test the players for strength, speed, power, agility, balance, etc and they can observe the player over an extended period to learn his attitude. This gives the player's club an advantage over other clubs in determining the player's likelihood of becoming a first grader - there's always going to be an element of risk when signing a young bloke who's never played first grade, but with the right set-up, a club can minimise a lot of the uncertainty and stack the odds in its favour. This is how Melbourne knew Daniel Mortimer would never amount to anything special, and cut him away.

This is why we have an academy, sorry, an 'academy'.
